Hey y'all :) Now that the candy factory is finished, I will be moving on to the Water Zones!
I am working on the introductory puzzles/ zones to gaining the Waterlogged status and Geyser ability! I will most likely tie off that patch at the end of the first major dungeon. This will include a new town, several areas and characters.
After that will be work on the Seal of Water and related areas and zones!
Here's a sneak peak at Queen Coraline, the Lady of Water! Art done by the talented @JijaFat
Another big change I will be trying out in the next big update (0.6.0) will be implementing enemy level scaling. The intent is that after reaching the central chamber (aka tutorial), you can head to any of the four zones and do their quests as you please. This will require a lot of retuning of combat and enemies. Otherwise, the Water Zone might be stupidly easy after say beating all of the Wind zone dungeons/bosses.
As for the Berry Labs in the Candy Factory, it will be pushed back for now. I will get back around to it, but may be some time between big updates. Personally, I am out of creative juices for factory related content, and will get back to it when I'm ripe and swollen with ideas :)
And after all of that, the Slime Zone will be next! All of which leads up to titular the dungeon of The Devourer. Which is planned to be a very big mega-dungeon that requires all your learned skills and puzzle solving techniques to complete!
All of this is subject to changing of course! I will still put up some fixes and minor changes between then and now. But the 0.6.0 patch may be longer than my normal monthly release schedule.
A test build will go up when we get to the combat scaling changes! Hopefully I get some of your feedback to make the game as good as possible :)
Dungeon of the Devourer's 1 year anniversary is coming up in March too! I want to do something special, not sure what yet, but I am open to ideas!!
Anyways thanks for listening and thank you everyone for playing!
